Where can I drop off some nice, fashionable kids clothing, some even brand new and some gently worn, where it will actually get used and not just land in some garbage heap?

If you find a free give away chat in your neighborhood and post that you have clothing I can pretty much guarantee that someone will want it.

I found some great “customers” here on ima. The best way I think is to give to people directly.

Do you have relatives who could use it? I passed most of my DD's clothes down to relatives who were happy to take.

I give what I can to relatives but my kids are not close in age/size to any of my nieces and nephews.

I found someone on here to take my baby clothes. Yay! But my bigger kids clothes is a lot of random stuff in random sizes, it would be hard to list it all and find someone who wants it.

If you're in the Lakewood/ surrounding areas and have girls sizes 7/8 approximate or boys 2 or so I might be interested

In the past I listed a size range and had people pick up a whole box or two

I have 4 girls in a row so lots of people will give me all their stuff and I’ll use all, if not this year then I’m the next year or two. So find someone similar that will be very happy. I buy them almost nothing thanks to the tons of bags I BH get.

OP, If you don't want to deal with sorting and several people picking up. I'd be happy to pick up the whole stash and taking what I need and forwarding whatever I don't need to someone else who could actually use it.

If you're really looking to do chesed with gently used clothes, pack them in egg boxes and ship them to Israel. The extent they will get used there is unfathomable; they go from family to family. There is an organization set up to ship this. There is a cost per egg box, you can either donate the clothes to their organization or arrange for a recipient in Israel to pick up the boxes.

This is the contact of the shipper, they have it all explained on the website, misplaced the domain name:

Op. I don't have anyone to take from. No relatives. I find serendipity, cost me money, is everyone's dumping ground. If you have beautiful clothing go to one of the Free Gamache usually advertised in BP or voice. Your clothing will get seen their and used without someone profiting.
